Obama, who had been careful to stay out of the Democratic primary, told Politico for the “Off Message” podcast that Clinton’s chief rival, Bernie Sanders, has benefited from being the underdog. “You’re always looking at the bright, shiny object that people haven’t seen before”.

The poll showed Sanders with a 36 percent to 28 percent lead over Cruz in a potential three-way race, with 11 percent supporting Bloomberg. “And, you know, there were times where I think the media probably was a little unfair to her and tilted a little my way in calling her out when she was tough and not calling some of our folks out as much when we were tough in ads”.
“The Nation expresses its appreciation to Sanders like this: “Whether his candidacy, and the inspired campaign it fuels, will spark a “political revolution” sufficient to win the Democratic nomination and the White House this year remains to be seen”. He says Clinton’s experience has taught her to be cautious, so that she campaigns more in prose than in poetry.
“I think Bernie came in with the luxury of being a complete long shot and just letting loose”.
Many Democratic insiders remain haunted by the presidential blowouts of George McGovern in 1972 and Walter Mondale in 1984 – two unabashedly liberal presidential candidates who lost badly in their general election contests.
-The president rejected the idea that Sanders’ campaign is comparable to his own 2008 battle against Clinton, saying, “No, I don’t think that’s true”. As Sanders gained ground on Clinton, pundits began drawing strong comparisons with Obama’s come-from-behind win in 2008 against her. It’s possible she may skip attacking Sanders and position herself as the candidate who can continue Obama’s efforts.
Clinton, fighting a hoarse voice said, “I’ve had the great experience of visiting Israel many times, of making friends with so numerous leaders and activists, who have built Israel and have continued to fight and defend it”. She said she wanted to speak up because “I want people to know they’re not alone out there”.
The Daily News reports that Hillary Clinton is defending her campaign and how things will be handled moving forward, even though the polls are not in her favor. “I don’t think they’re going to fall for it this campaign”.

Sanders’ campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, agreed they are not the same, but still pointed to a similar crowd response and said the US senator from Vermont enjoys a similar momentum. She had to wake up earlier than I did because she had to get her hair done.
